Petrified Forests of Baja California Mexico

This video demonetized, probably for references to spider sex/ etc.
In this episode we explore some 70 million-year-old sediments and the fossils contained within in the deserts of Baja California, Mexico. We encounter a trap door spider and check out the flowers of Hesperoyucca whipplei growing on a sketchy slope above a canyon filled with snail fossils and petrified wood of the genus Rosarioxylon (Lauraceae).
Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
